00:26Two key states, Jharkhand and Maharashtra, are witnessing significant political developments
00:32as alliances finalise their seed-sharing strategies.
00:36Here's a detailed look at the current state of affairs in both regions.
00:43The Indian National Inclusive Developmental Alliance, or in short, India Bloc, consisting
00:49of Jharkhand Mukti Morja, Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal and Left parties have officially
00:55announced its seed-sharing formula for the upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections.
01:00Out of the 81 assembly seats in the state, the JMM and Congress will contest 17, while
01:07the remaining 11 will be divided between the RJD and Left parties.
01:11Chief Minister Hemant Soren made the announcement in Ranchi today, alongside Congress leader
01:16Gulam Ahmed Mir.
01:18The decision has been met with dissatisfaction from the RJD, which called the allocation
01:23of seats unilateral.
01:25RJD spokesperson Manoj Kumar Jha expressed disappointment with the seed-sharing arrangement,
01:32stating that the party's leadership was not adequately consulted and hinted that all options
01:38were open moving forward.
01:40In the 2019 elections, the RJD contested seven seats but managed to win only one, while JMM
01:47and Congress fared much better.
02:17Meanwhile, the Left parties, including the CPI-ML, are expected to contest in key constituencies
02:41like Dhanwar, Baghodar and Nirsa, where they have strong base.
02:46With this seat-sharing formula now public, all eyes are on the remaining unresolved issues
02:51with the alliance, particularly with the RJD's grievances, which could affect campaign dynamics.

03:32On the other hand, the Election Commission of India has directed the state government
03:37to remove Acting Director General of Police, DGP Anurag Gupta from his position, a decision
03:43that could impact the administrative setup ahead of the elections.

03:54Janata Party, BJP, the Shiv Sena faction led by CM Eknath Shinde and the Nationalist Congress
04:01Party, NCP faction led by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, has reached a seat-sharing agreement

04:55on 200 assembly seats. However, disputes over 25-30 seats remain unsolved, creating a deadlock
05:03within the alliance.
05:04Maharashtra Congress Chief Nana Patole has stated that the party's high command is being
05:09consulted and they will abide by whatever decision is made regarding these contentious
05:15seats.
05:16This assembly election will be the first since the major splits in the Shiv Sena and NCP
05:21in year 2022 and 2023 respectively, making it a crucial political battleground for both
05:28the ruling and opposition alliances.
05:31As both sides finalise their seat-sharing strategies, Maharashtra's political landscape
05:36is set for an intense electoral showdown.
05:41In both Jharkhand and Maharashtra, political alliances are scrambling to finalise their
05:46seat-sharing deals, with internal dissent posing challenges to unity within both the
